Explore McCool, Mississippi, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for McCool, Mississippi. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Mississippi or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to McCool.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

McCool occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Yockanookany River carves a slow, deliberate path through the red-clay earth. It lies 34.9 miles west-southwest of Starkville, MS (from Starkville, MS: bearing 241°T), and is situated 17.2 miles northeast of Kosciusko. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness, often thick with the scent of damp soil and the encroaching greenery that seems to pulse with a life of its own. Beyond the immediate banks of the river, the landscape rises into subtle, verdant swells that hint at the distant presence of the Noxubee Hills, their faint blue silhouettes pressed against the horizon like a charcoal sketch. The light at dusk settles over the fields in a bruised violet hue, catching the broad, waxy leaves of vegetation that thrive in the deep, fertile loam. Just a mile away, the Yockanookany WMA provides a sanctuary where the shadows stretch long across the brush, offering a sense of seclusion that defines the character of the surrounding terrain.
McCool grew from the necessity of the rail and the promise of the soil, serving as a modest junction where the rhythms of agricultural life have long dictated the passage of the seasons. While the industry of the past relied heavily on the output of the land, the economy remains tied to the cycles of harvest and the slow, steady maintenance of the local timberlands that lead toward the expansive reaches of the Tombigbee National Forest. Life in McCool moves with the measured pace of a pendulum, indifferent to the frantic speed of the wider world, favoring instead the quiet persistence of family-tended plots and the occasional passage of a freight train. Residents look toward Kemps Pond for a respite from the summer heat, finding a familiar solace in the water’s reflection of the wide, unchanging sky. There is a profound honesty in the way the local architecture wears its age, with weathered wood and brick settling into the landscape as if they were always meant to be part of the geography itself.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
